About Latter Days of Eve:

"In Latter Days of Eve, Beverly Burch writes into the Eve myth as if Eve were a prism shining a multitude of reflections across the ages. 'Oh Eve, every Eve,' she laments as we meet a cast of women in therapy offices, trashed campgrounds, old shrines, along the interstate, and we meet ourselves running from our own 'disastrous lots.' In Burch's dystopia, language is powerful and wholly original, exposing the narrative of escape and the refusal to disappear as 'the world warps fast.' Written at the edge of 'blossoming disaster' and uncertain survival, the ancient and contemporary moment are exquisitely braided, and through this seer's eye, this most skillful poet's hand, she helps us remember how 'always, the world's egg breaks open.' A stunning work."
—Jennifer Sweeney

"In Latter Days of Eve, Beverly Burch's re-imagined Eden is original and deliciously anachronistic; Adam and Eve's 'marriage is snake-bit' and there is 'something / mechanical droning in a faraway sky.' Burch deftly leads us through biblical narratives to contemporary motherhood, to 'the desolate flourescence of mini-malls.' This fine book is a feat of the imagination."
